Analysis of BUBBLES (Poem 43)



Bubbles are floating and floating around.
I blow them up and they slowly glide down.

Sparkles of blue and pink in them I see
As they glisten in the sunlight for me.

I give a blow and shoot one up high,
And slowly I watch it go up into the sky.

Then gliding down I watch them all come,
When hitting the grass, they all succumb.

I put in my wand and pull out some more bubbles,
For blowing them up seems to lesson my troubles.

Jean Gorney

I wrote a poem for my daughter and new son-in-law and read it at their wedding reception in 1997. People have been encouraging me ever since. I try to write up-beat and happy poetry. My poetry has been in many anthologies, newspapers, church bulletins,etc. I won a small contest once. I self-published some small(4x5)books with about 16 poems in each that can be used as greeting cards. I include an envelope for mailing. Check them out on my FB page under Jean Magill Gorney. more…
